CES 2020: Targus EcoSmart Backpack with Qi Wireless Charging

One of the internet’s most raved about products over the last few years has been a line of luggage with an integrated battery, letting you plug in a device charger while you’re on the go. The new Targus Cypress EcoSmart Bag takes that concept to the next level, with built in wireless charging for your smartphone. From the outside, the Targus Cypress bag is just another sleek backpack—its understated grey design as appropriate for the office as it is for campus. But unzip the side pocket and you’ll find a smartphone cradle with an integrated Qi wireless charger. Just slide your phone in and you can go about your day while your phone charges. Targus gives users the option to use their own battery pack, so charging capacity is variable. The bag is also constructed of fabric made from recycled water bottles—hence the EcoSmart moniker. Expect to see the Targus Cypress EcoSmart bags on the market sometime Q3 2020.
